An Exponential Bound for Cox Regression

Stat Probab Lett. 2012 Jul;82(7):1267-1272. doi: 10.1016/j.spl.2012.03.023.

Abstract

We present an asymptotic exponential bound for the deviation of the survival function estimator of the Cox model. We show that the bound holds even when the proportional hazards assumption does not hold.

Keywords: Cox model; exponential bound; model misspecification.
